Benefits of technology

[0018]The use of the pair of functional metal ion bands according to the present invention enables rapid, safe and continuous treatment of diseases when compared to the use of needles for acupuncture, needles for injection, coins and magnetos. In addition, the pair of functional metal ion bands according to the present invention can be manufactured at reduced costs. Furthermore, the pair of functional metal ion bands according to the present invention are simultaneously attached to meridians and acupoints on the hands and feet in a simple manner to induce a smooth flow of current in the body without leaving any scar on the skin, unlike when needles for injection and acupuncture are used, thereby rapidly changing a disease condition to a normal state.

Problems solved by technology

For example, tetrodotoxin, which is the poison produced by swellfish, inhibits the permeability of sodium ions (Na+) through the cell membranes to block the flow of body current and to paralyze the nervous system, leading to sudden death.
The flow and blockage of body current may save and lose lives in an instant, respectively.
However, since the use of needles for acupuncture and injection leaves scars on the human body, there are potential dangers of lethal infectious diseases (e.g., AIDS and hepatitis) through the scars.
However, the use of nickel must be avoided due to the possibility of causing incurable diseases and cancers.
In addition, the coins are hard, which causes great inconvenience for patients, are not readily attached to the body, and are bad in appearance.
For these disadvantages, many patients are reluctant to use coins.
Particularly, since copper is contained in both ten-won coins and hundred-won coins, a current may flow in an opposite direction, thus resulting in low efficiency.
In addition, the prior art product is very expensive and is known to exhibit insignificant effects.

experimental example 1

[0033]A gold-colored Cu alloy-made metal plate and a silver-colored Al alloy-made metal plate were produced to have the respective compositions defined in the present invention. The two metal plates were dipped in water or a saline solution as an electrolyte in a beaker. Thereafter, a micro-current induced due to ionization of the metals was measured using a Protek 4000 Digital Multimeter (TRUE RMS) at a resistance of 100Ω. This experiment was conducted in a laboratory at the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Chung-Ang University, Korea.

[0034]When water was used as an electrolyte, the ionization current was measured to be between 50 μA and 100 μA, which indicates that the ionization potential difference of Cu and Al was in the range of 5 mV to 10 mV. When the skin was dry under the laboratory conditions, the body current at 10 mV was calculated to be 0.5 μA (i.e. I=V / R=10 mV / 20,000Ω=0.5 μA). When the skin was wet, the body current at 10 mV was calculated to be 10 μA ...

Abstract

A pair of functional metal ion bands are provided. The pair of functional metal ion bands are attached to meridians and acupoints of the human body in a simple manner to induce a smooth flow of current in the body, thereby rapidly changing a disease condition to a normal state. The pair of functional metal ion bands comprise a gold-colored thin metal plate as a positive electrode and a silver-colored thin metal plate as a negative electrode wherein the gold-colored thin metal plate is composed of Cu and a metal selected from Ag, Au and Pt and the silver-colored thin metal plate is made of an alloy of Al, Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg and Zn. The pair of functional metal ion bands are manufactured by processing each of the thin metal plates to have a thickness of 1 μm to 1 cm and a diameter of 1 mm to 50 cm, and attaching the processed metal plate to one side of a soft adhesive fabric using an adhesive.

Description

[0001]The present patent application is a non-provisional application of International Application No. PCT / KR2007 / 001291, filed Mar. 16, 2007, now Patent No. KR 100737306.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to functional bands using metal ions (hereinafter, referred to as “functional metal ion bands”). More specifically, the present invention relates to a pair of functional metal ion bands, which comprise metal plates composed of different metal alloy materials, that are simultaneously attached to meridians and acupoints on the hands and feet in a simple manner to induce a smooth flow of current in the body, thereby rapidly changing a disease condition to a normal state.BACKGROUND ART[0003]A current always circulates through the human body. This current is called a ‘body current’. A body current flows well in a healthy person, while no current flows or an excessively large or small amount of current flows in a person who suffers from a disease or has a problem at a pa...
